Anyone on a Uni Network? (Mines totally fubar)

[leezer3]

Hiya,
Quick question- Is anyone else on a Uni network experiencing major net probs atm? (UEA)
HTTP downloads are refusing to go above about .1kbs, net is generally slow as heck and any ping to a US site dumps. Tracert appears to be telling me that I'm getting 100% packet loss somewhere in the London routing servers but no more than that (Not a consistant offender unfortunately)

Anyone with any thoughts- AFAIK, most unis are on the same ISP network.

Cheers

Hmm
Junk connection lol. The helpdesk closed a while back, so thats not much use. AFAIK, its not local to the uni, the UEA managed leg of the hop is fine, just as an example in a tracert to here, this is the leg before the timeout:

so-2-0.metro1-londencyh00.London.level13.net [212.113.0.113]

In other words, what that suggests to me anyway is a failure somewhere in the exit to the UK (The UK based servers I've tried are fine AFAIK.)

What I would pay for an unrestricted net connection, just to access WOW among other things (At least though, there is no censorship of general net resources)

Typically I'm in the oldest & worst halls, ie. Mary Chapman Court
Mind you though, they do have the biggest rooms, and much better access to the city, so I'm not complaining much
Somethings happening on the net front ATM- Rapidshare has gone up to 18kbs (Normally 350!!), and things are a little snappier, but still getting huge amounts of timeouts.
